Jesus. You still haven't got the point.

I believe this is our (tetex-mantainers') duty. I'm not a TeX user, but why can't you have a /etc/texmf.d/ directory where the other packages can drop their texmf.cnf fragments (like logrotate has, for instance), which is then included from the static texmf.cnf? -- Tore Anderson
